Why the Price Stands Up

Valued at the asking price. A national valuer inspected the home on 11 September 2026 and assessed its market value at the asking price, condition excellent inside and out, on a registered title. Five of the six sales the valuer relied on were modern townhouses in Ascot, Wooloowin and Hendra.

Scarce product in a house suburb. Clayfield is 51% flats and 38% pre-war houses; townhouses are 10.6% of dwellings and the suburb approves about 19 new homes a year. With the median house at about $2,090,000, a new three-level home with a double garage is a family entry point into the suburb.

The Numbers

Investors. Rent was assessed at $1,200 per week unfurnished and a local property manager appraised $1,200 to $1,350, with roughly $23,375 of depreciation available in year one. A completed home on a registered title is a single contract with no construction period or staged draws, and it can be tenanted from settlement.

Owner-occupiers. The home concession rate of stamp duty applies, $7,175 below the investor rate.

First home buyers. Queensland charges $0 stamp duty on a new home with no value cap. The price sits above the caps for the First Home Guarantee and Boost to Buy, so those schemes do not apply here.

New-build tax treatment. From 1 July 2027 negative gearing is limited to new builds, and new dwellings retain the 50% CGT discount option. The practical definition is still to be set by legislative instrument, so treat it as a supporting factor rather than the case.

Buying as a Foreign Person

It qualifies as a new dwelling. Foreign persons, including temporary residents on student and skilled visas, are banned from buying established dwellings from 1 April 2025 until 30 June 2029. New dwellings are not caught, and this home has never been occupied.

Approval comes before contract. A residential application is lodged through the ATO's online services for foreign investors and can take up to 30 days after the fee is paid. The contract carries a FIRB clause. The application fee is set by price band and indexed each 1 July; ask us for the figure that applies.

Queensland's additional foreign acquirer duty adds 8% of the price on top of the transfer duty. Australian citizens and permanent residents pay neither the surcharge nor the FIRB fee, so confirm visa status early.

Keep it tenanted. A foreign owner who leaves a dwelling vacant for 183 days or more in a year pays an annual vacancy fee of double the application fee, and Queensland adds a 3% absentee land tax surcharge above $350,000 of taxable land value. A completed home that can be let from settlement avoids the first of those.

Location and Market

Schools on the doorstep. Clayfield College (Prep to Year 12) and Eagle Junction State School are both a short walk away. Eagle Junction runs a gazetted enrolment management plan; ask us for the address to confirm the catchment on EdMap. St Rita's, St Margaret's, St Agatha's and Aviation High are all a short drive away.

Two stations within walking distance. Clayfield station and Eagle Junction, a six-line junction including the Airport line, are both a short walk. The CBD is 10 to 15 minutes by train on 50 cent fares, and Brisbane Airport is about 10 minutes by car.

A tight rental market. Clayfield vacancy runs between 0.59% and 1.25% depending on the provider.

Straight talk. Brisbane dwelling values eased 2.7% in the quarter to August 2026 after three RBA rises, with annual growth still at 10.8%. The valuer rates market-direction risk 4 out of 5 and notes the valuation carries a premium for new condition that may not be repeated on a resale. Price it on the valuation and the comparable sales, not on momentum.
